23To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 11 January 1794 (Washington Papers)
I saw Mr Bourne and Mr Bradford together yesterday. The former is disinclined to the office of district attorney, saying, among many other things by way of objection, that nothing would tempt him to bring down upon him the fire of both parties. They agreed in the superiority of Howell as to talents; but as he never read the law, until he began to practise, I cannot conceive, that he possesses...

26To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 30 March 1794 (Washington Papers)
The intelligence, as derived from Mr G. thro’ Mr N——s, stands thus: Colo. H. was asked by the committee, what authority he had for drawing the money borrowed in Europe, over here. His answer was, “I have verbal authority from the President, and fortunately written also”—It is supposed by Mr G., that the written authority, or rather the letter from Mount Vernon, which is referred to, does not...
27To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 4 October 1794 (Washington Papers)
No public dispatches, or public events have appeared, since I had the honor of writing to you yesterday. Mr Brown, the senator of Kentucky, who has been in town about three days, called upon me yesterday. He was not explicit, whether he had received letters from the western army; but I am convinced from the manner of his sounding me to discover, if I was prepared to listen with indulgence to...
28To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 26 October 1793 (Washington Papers)
I had this moment the honor of receiving your letter of the 23d instant by a special messenger from Philadelphia. As he is impatient to return, and I mean to write a duplicate for Elkton, I will trouble you with but a short communication. At Baltimore and Elkton, two letters of different dates are waiting for your arrival; one written on the 23d, the other on the 25th instant. Since the...
29To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 3 January 1794 (Washington Papers)
I had the honor of observing to you this morning, that the commissioners ought not, in my opinion, nor indeed in the opinion of Mr Jefferson and Mr Madison, to abandon the legal title to the lots sold. The facility, which occurred to me, was, that the commissioners might by a power of attorney authorize Mr Pinckney or any other of our ministers residing at places abroad, where Mr Greenleaf...
30To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 5 February 1795 (Washington Papers)
The Secretary of State has the honor of returning to the President, the papers respecting the Ship of War to be built in Georgia. Nothing seems to be further necessary on the part of the President, unless perhaps it be to say to the Department, which has the principal superintendance of the Business, that a minute attention to economy is peculiarly desirable; and that it is recommended, that...
